THE MOST sanctuary WAR.
The Bloody Battle of Waterloo Out
done in America.

The Bloody Battle of Waterloo Out
done in America.
Investigations recently made in the War
Department at Washington show that the
late American civil war was relatively the
most sanguinary on record. Though the
Federal and Confederate returns are not
altogether exact, the War Office is able to
give a close approximate estimate of the
killed, wounded and missing in the Federal
forces. According to the statistics 297, S25
Union soldiers lie buried in the various
national cemeteries. Including losses of
which no account can be taken, the war
cost the North 100000 lives, or more than
one i'll nine of all those who entered the SER
vice.
The two opposing armies met in over 2, 900
skirmisheS and battles. In 14S of those con-
hlcts the loss on the Federal side was up
ward of 500 men, and in at least ten battles
more than 10000 were reported lost on each
SIDE The combined losses of the Federal
and Confederate forces in killed, wounded
and missing in the following engagements
were: Shiloh, $4,000; Antietam, $4,000;
Stone river, 81, 900; Charlottesville, $4,000;
Gettysburg, $4,000; Chickamauga, $4,000;
McClellanS peninsular campaign, $4,000;
Grants peninsula campaign, 10000, and
Shermap'S campaign, 125, 900.
w aterlOO was one OF Une most desperate
and bloody fields chronicled in European
history, yet Wellington's casualties were
less than ~ per cent, while during the
American war the loss at Murfreesboro, At
lanta, Chic5amauga, Gettysburg and other
places frequently reached, and sometimes
exceeded, 40 per cent, and the average of
killed and wounded on one side or the other
was 50 per cent. Ii the figures of the Con-
federate losses could be accurately ascer-
tanned, the total deaths in the late war would
probably surpass 100000. 1t is not little
curious that the losses and captured men of
the Federals-who were victorious in the
struggle--almost equaled the whole of the
Confederate forces.

In Honor of Mrs. Cleveland.


The Post Office Department has often
been called upon to name post office after
the lovely wife OF the President, and when
ever the request could be complied with,
gallant Postmaster General Villas has con-
sented. Therefore there is a Frances or a
Cleveland in nearly every State, but yester-
day "Ole Virginia came forward and took
the cake. They have post office called
Dooms-awful name-aud they wanted a
postmaster appointed at once, so what did
they do but ask the appointment of Frances
Cleveland as acting postmistress. The re-
quest staggered the high postal authorities,
and at first the request came very near
going into the waste paper basket. But the
clerk in charge of the Virginia desk hap
pened to read the letter again aud found
that the applicants name had an II. in it,
and read Frances IL Cleveland and not
"Frauces F. Cleveland Besides, the clerk
also discovered that the Virginians wanted
TO compliment Mrs. Cleveland more than
other States had done, and so they picked
out postlnistress with a name as near as
possible TO the beautiful mistress Of the
White House The matter was thus ex-
planned to First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Stevenson, and he at once ordered
Frances II. Cleveland appointed acting post
mistress at Dooms, Va. The next thing in
order will be to change the name of the post
Office from Dooms to White House.

HARPER's WHEAT DEALS.
His Brokers Identity Checks Repre-
senting Sl,3COOOO.

Senting 81 ,oCO,COO.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 30.-The trial of E. /.
Harper was resumed to-day in the United
States Court a long time after the appointed
hour, owing to the absence of juror who
obtained leave last night to go home and
arrange his business. The first witness was
). w. Hoyt, broker Of this city, whose
testimony gave in detail numerous transac-
tons in the buying of wheat in Chicago by
him. When asked for whom he was
acting he answered that B. +. Hop
hns, assistant cashier Of the Fidelity
Bank made the purchases, but the settle
ments were always made by +. l.. Harper.
These transactions began in January last.
They were ordinary spectators purchases,
where no wheat is ever seen, but settlements
are made according to how the market runs.
Mr.. Eckert, of Wiltshire, Eckert a. Co, OF
Cincinnati, testified to deals with Kershaw
a. Co., and other Chicago firms from
January last till June and said they sent
about $1,000, 900 to Chicago to Kershaw 81
Co. When asked where he got the money
he said he could not tell exactly. He sup
posed 1t came from parties interested in the
wheat deal. He was then shown some checks
signed by himself and Mr. Wiltshire and was
asked again where the money came from.
he said: IAN we'd do when calls were
made on us was to go TO the Fidelity Bank
and give our check for the amount. Where
the money came from l do not know.
When these checks were drawn we did not
save that amount in the BANK
j. w. Wiltshire, the partner of Mr.. Eckert,
identified checks aggregating 81 300 900
drawn by J. W. Wiltshire, and Endorsed by
Wiltshire, Eckert & Co. He said that either
himself or Mr.. Eckert had Endorsed
the checks. He said there was
an understanding between him and
Mr.. Harper that these checks should be
protected. He made it clear that he acted
in all this wheat deal as the agent or broker
of E. L. Harper.

GRAVES OF THE ANARCHISTS.
The Mount Greenwood Cemetery Man
ayers | fer Large Lot.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3O.-The committee
having charge Of the selection of a site for
the burial of the executed Anarchists met
this afternoon, but failed to reach any con-
clusion At their meeting last Saturday
they decided to purchase lot
in. Waldheim Before they had
notified the owners of the ground
of their decision, however, the managers of
Mount Greenwood Cemetery, near Morgan
Park, offered them a tract of land eighty
feet square without charge, with promise
of more at very low figure.
The land is situated in a beauti-
full rise near the centre of the cemetery,
and adjacent to a lot owned by the Chicago
Lodge of Elks A decision will be reached
tomorrow, and the interment will probably
occur one week from next Sun
day. There will he no parade
of the various Anarchist groups on
that day, but a large crowd is expected to
turn out and accompany the remains to their
final resting place. Delegations from New
York, Philadelphia, St. Louis and Cincin-
natl have signified their intention of being
present. Money Is already being raised for
a monument to the fallen leaders of anarchy.

THE DEAD-LETTER OFFIcE.
The Dead-Letter Office was placed under
charge of a superintendent at the beginning
of the year, as a separate office. From the
report Of the superintendent it appears that
the work of this office has considerably in
creased. During the year 5,57S, 965 pieces OF
of mail matter were treated, increasing by
ia per cent. over 1886 and by about Il per
cent over 1885. This increase is in part
attributable to the enlarged volume OF mail
matter transported. and partly TO the
greater care taken by postmasters in render
ing returns of undelivered matter and
withdrawing from the mails such as is UNI
mailable.
Among the interesting items Of the work
performed, it is TO be noted that 4j6, 1873
pieces of mail arriving from foreign lands
were returned TO the country of origin;
that II, 725 letters, inclosing in the aggre-
gate S22, 500 r. and q ,S6S letters, contain
ing drafts, notes, checks money orders, etc,
to the amount in face value Of 1851, 16l 10,
were restored to the owners.
There was derived TO the postal revenue
from dead mail matter the sum of S9,oJ3
a, $7l4 4S in excess of the previous year.
